Some days ago on a stroll through Bavarian meadows I saw a patch of very bright blue. I'd never seen this plant before:
meadow sage - Salvia pratensis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvia_pratensis
Most of us will have used Sage, Salvia officinalis in our kitchens.
The wonderful and very easy recipe of Saltim Bocca alla Romana is made with that - a thin slice of Parma ham on a thin veal escalope and a leaf of sage on it - but see yourself at Jamie Oliver - https://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/beef-recipes/saltimbocca-alla-romana/
You can be sure it does just what the translation of Saltim Bocca means: it jumps into the mouth. And is very quick to prepare. And when you see the inflationary prices for veal escalope, you might need a big slug of marsala, which you need for the recipe too.
Folks have many names for sage: in Great Britain it is also called "Christ's eye" - you find the pink flowers of clary sage, Salvia sclarea often on paintings of Saint John, symbol for Divine salvation.
Salvia officinalis is used as medical plant. In a compilation of medical mnemonics from the year 1300 you find the interesting question:
"Cur moriatur homo, cui Salvia crescit in horto? Why should man die if Salvia grows in the garden?" The sobering answer: "because there grows no herb against death".
In the very well-informed book of Marianne Beuchert, "Symbolik der Pflanzen" (sadly no English edition) I found an interesting part of English folk belief:
"If the sagetree flowers and grows, / The master's not the Master and he knows."
"Want a few more Saltim bocca, darling?" - :-)
